UI must do more to eliminate sexual violence

I support the idea that the University of Iowa should provide education about sexual violence to victims, potential victims and observers/bystanders, in the need for, and the art of reporting violence.

But UI must "walk its talk" and offer these educational opportunities at no cost to participants so that the process of preventing sexual violence on campus can be enhanced immediately.

The university could improve its commitment to eliminate sexual violence further by making the process of reporting sexual violence easier, less time consuming and less of a stigma on the one reporting.

Too many women are reluctant to report sexual violence because of the above reasons and women often are stigmatized as the cause of the problem rather than as the victim.
